Athlete Brand Network ™

Why You Should Join the Athlete Brand Network™

As a student-athlete, you already have a demanding schedule, balancing academics, work, social, and sports, and that leaves little time to fully develop your personal brand and grow your network.

Even if you dedicate time to building your brand, it’s hard to match the expertise and passion of students who are going to college specifically to work in marketing, communications, art/film/tv media studies, as well as journalism, sales, public relations, and sports management. By collaborating with fellow students who are honing their skills in these fields, you can take your brand to the next level without adding more to your already full plate.

Partnering with the Athlete Brand Network means you’ll have access to talented peers who are passionate about marketing and branding. They’ll help you navigate the complex world of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL), giving you the support you need to succeed, while allowing you to focus on what you do best—excelling in your sport.

Here are some key areas fellow students who are in the above courses can handle for you:

  • Building Your Brand: You need to think through what your story is which will affect your brand. Having a partner to talk through this process is immensely helpful.
  • Social Media Presence: Student marketing teams help athletes create marketable profiles by providing expert advice on content strategy and audience growth.
  • Content Creation Support: Students assist athletes in creating engaging content tailored to their passions, offering guidance or taking over content responsibilities.
  • Expanding Audiences: Students use viral marketing strategies to help athletes grow their audience and build strong networks.
  • Graphic Design, Photography and Videography: Professional-level students create visually compelling content for athletes using advanced graphics, photography, and video techniques.
  • Sponsorships and Deals: Students help athletes connect with sponsors using a network directory and actively secure partnerships through sales and networking expertise.

By joining the Athlete Brand Network, you'll get professional-level support to enhance your brand, freeing you up to focus on your performance, all while gaining valuable partnerships with fellow students who are eager to help you succeed.
